  1. Pedro is starting Game 3 for the Phillies! GO PEDRO!!!!
  2. You forgot to log in as someone less clever than ikol.
  3. I was gonna say the same thing about using foie gras in his argument.
  4. Aww man I missed out on The Wagon and Just Like Heaven? Van Damn. Thanks for posting.
  5. Check out the first page of this thread - it's all about what you've highlighted.
  6. I took your statement solace as separate from the Beatles/Dylan comparison. Hence the
  7. No, I got you. It's just I started looking up that book then stopped myself. Priorities, I guess.
  8. I should do a lot of stuff. Anyway, I didn't think it was the most original thought I ever had. Probably picked it up from someone who heard it from someone who read the book...
  9. Nothing sounded like Blonde On Blonde before Blonde On Blonde.
  10. There was an interview with Jakob Dylan in Rolling Stone a few years back where he was asked about his dad, and he said something to the effect of "People really take him for granted, they don't realize that you're not always going to be lucky enough to be living in the age of a Bob Dylan. It probably won't be until he's been gone for a hundred years that they'll recognize what he was." It's stuck with me because it is probably true. A hundred years from now Dylan will be on the same level as Shakespeare. His work will be independent of this era, of his contemporaries. At some point even his
  11. I love that the wedding episode (a saccharine staple of sitcoms) opened with everyone puking.
  12. Yeah it wasn't as loud as I was expecting - I even took my earplugs out for a few minutes. They did sound great - short show though (Saturday): just under 90 minutes. Did they play longer Friday?
  13. I might just be slow, but I think they kind of messed up the climax scene - the weave of cuts between the guests dancing down the aisle and the ferry shots. Up until Jim & Pam were actually being married on the ferry, I thought the ferry happened after the church, that all the guests were there with them at the ferry. I thought this because the first cut to ferry scene was a quick shot of J&P in their ponchos with a bunch of people behind them, boarding the ferry. I thought this was the followup, the pre-reception or something. When I finally figured it out, it was obvious, and felt a
  14. Great argument. If Obama is smart, his statement should include something along the lines of 'accepting this on behalf of the American people.'
  15. http://nobelprize.or...sted/index.html Granted, the committee is supposed to consider accomplishments: The Prize, in other words, is not only for past achievement, although that is the most important criterion. But Sejersted continues: The committee also takes the possible positive effects of its choices into account. Among the reasons for adding this as a criterion is the obvious point that (Alfred) Nobel wanted the Prize to have political effects. Awarding a Peace Prize is, to put it bluntly, a political act – which is also the reason why the choices so often stir up controversy. There
  16. Eh. A little more umm...weight is involved in world peace. And I say that with 100% snark directed right at ya.
  17. "I was going to give them money but I give them money every week."
  18. Probably the kindest seeming guy on the show. Wild.
